As a part of St. Joan’s School, Salt Lake’s 25th Anniversary celebrations, a Robotics Laboratory was inaugurated by His Excellency Mr. Zha Liyou – Consul General of the People’s Republic China in Kolkata, In the August Presence of Guests of Honour, Mr. Rajeev Kumar, IPS – Principal Secretary of Information Technology & Electronics Department , Govt. of West Bengal and Rev. Fr. Felix Raj – Vice Chancellor St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata on 25th November, 2022.

Until now at St. Joan’s School, Robotics was integrated in the Physics and Computer Science curriculum and student’s showcased their work during the Annual Physics (EXORGIC) and Computer Science (CYBERSCAPE) exhibition creating drones, remote control cars etc.

Moving forward, Robotics will be an independent subject, have it’s dedicated laboratory and detailed curriculum with a multidisciplinary approach covering computer programming, physics, mechanics and technology and will be offered to students from Class III.

It will require, students to think outside the box and become creative thinkers. In the lab, student’s learning will be experiential through hands on fun filled activities which are interactive and we are certain, this will make learning enjoyable.

The goal of the Robotics laboratory, is to expose and prepare students for 21st century skills, from a young age.

In the Robotics lab, students will be able to use various latest electronic gadgets, processors, motors, controllers, sensors and computer software, to give their thoughts a structure. They will use models, Arduino’s to design and execute their ideas, creating real life projects and Robotic system.

The curriculum of the Robotics Laboratory, has integrated machine learning (ML), Artificial intelligence (AI), Mechanics, Programming and computing. It is STEM based and has been designed, with an aim to enhance and support students’ skills, by boosting their knowledge, through the design, construction, assembly, and operation of robots. Students will be able to use the 3D Printer, to create life like models.

As St. Joan’s School cerebrates 25 glorious years of excellence we are sure this brand new Robotics Laboratory will be a feast for our young inquisitive and innovative minds.
